Polls

The following are the most recent national polls for the presidential race between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. (To view polling data and results for the 2012 Republican presidential primary, view the archive here.)

NOTE: Polls of registered voters rather than likely voters are marked by an asterisk (*). The results for these polls will be listed as they are reported, but the R+ or D+ number in front of the poll will be adjusted by three points in favor of the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney. (Voter turnout slightly favors Republicans in each presidential election. Polls of likely voters attempt to correct for this factor, while polls of registered voters do not.) The "Poll Average" includes the adjusted average for the ten most recent polls.
